Michael Wills: The Government published today their response to the consultation paper on the publication of candidates' addresses at UK parliamentary elections.
	The purpose of this consultation was to seek views on whether the addresses of candidates at UK parliamentary elections should continue to be included on ballot papers and other election documents open to the public. The responses reveal that there are strongly-held views on both sides.
	The Government are aware that at least one, Member of Parliament intends to table an amendment to the Political Parties and Elections Bill which would remove the requirement for a candidate's full home address to appear on publicly available election documents, including the ballot paper.
	The responses to this consultation will help to inform consideration of any such amendment by Members of Parliament.
	Copies of the response paper will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses and on the Department's website at: www.justice.gov.uk.
	Copies will also be available in the Vote Office and the Printed Paper Office.
